What a finale’!!

Best trilogy I’ve listened to in a long time. The story is so beautifully written that, for me, the gore and brutality of the battles was secondary to the love and comaraderie between friends. I love this book. Cried so hard as my favorite characters died and rejoiced as others lived.

Overall A Well-Written, Entertaining Story

I purchased before reading some of the reviews and some are valid, but I felt the quality of narration and the story itself were more than enough to merit the time invested. I enjoyed it much and I do recommend.

Typical very good Griff Hosker tale

Good series with some notable characters. Wish I would have read this series prior to reading his other books that this series was a prequel for.

Great Trilogy

Great book and performance, like all Griff Hosker books I wish it was longer. Would of preferred more books in the series to establish more backstory for the next series, like Will Strongstaff was upset when he died.
